Abstract
Currently, fumed silica and alumina are generally known as adsorbents and supports for adsorbents and catalysts. At the same time, they, as nano-sized reagents, can be used to create modern materials containing silicates and aluminates of metals, in particular, rare-earth metals for the needs of optics, electronics and other applications. In this work, phase transformations and the structure of composites based on fumed silica, alumina and oxides of the lanthanum group Ln2O3 (Ln=Nd, Gd) as dependent on the ratio of fumed oxides and nature of Ln2O3 have been studied. X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis (DTA) methods were used. The samples were heated to 1000, 1200, 1400 °C corresponding to changes in the DTA curves on the derivatograms. It is shown that silicates of oxoapatite type Nd9.33Si6O26 and Gd9.34Si6O26 are formed in composites based on fumed silica and oxides of Ln2O3 at a temperature below 1400 °C. The phase of Nd9.33Si6O26 was found to be transitional during the formation of stable phases of Nd2Si2O7 and cristobalite at 1400 °C. It is suggested that no observation of Gd2Si2O7 is connected with lower reactivity of Gd2O3 compared with Nd2O3. In the composites based on Ln2O3 and both fumed oxides there are change in character of the interactions of the components near 1250 °C. First, formation of Nd9.33Si6O26, NdAlO3 and polymorphic transformation of Gd2O3 from cubic to hexagonal modification are observed. After 1250 °C interaction between fumed oxides occurs, which is accompanied by the formation of mullite and amorphous phase while maintaining various modifications of Gd2O3. In composites based on Ln2O3 and fumed alumina the formation of aluminates NdAlO3 and GdAlO3 occurs at 1000 and 1200 °C accordingly. Simultaneously with the formation of GdAlO3, the polymorphic transformation of Gd2O3 is observed up to 1400 °C. In the presence of both fumed oxides, it is limited to the formation of mullitic phase. Thus, apparently, Gd2O3 exhibits less reactivity with respect to fumed alumina and silica compared with Nd2O3.
